What's Everyone Reading??

I am reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, which I am loving! I also just got Bushwhacked by Molly Ivins from the library, so I am taking a break from the other so I can get that one read before it has to go back.

I'm reading the Eye of the World now. My neighbour has the whole series to lend to me. I'm also going to read something by Roger Moore. I'm unemployed now so I have LOTS of time.

I haven't checked this thread in a while, I am glad to see everyone's still reading!!!

Now I am reading "Merrick" by Anne Rice, it's a part of her vampire series, I am not even half done it yet but it is good as usual...I like all of her vampire books!!:bat

I just finished Lilian Jackson Braun's latest: The Cat Who Talked Turkey. Its the usual formula: murder, quirky characters and Koko trying to communicate clues to clueless humans.

Unlike the the more complex psychological thrillers, that I usually read, The Cat Who..... books are brain candy.

im reading one book and and one magizine now. the book is Echo company Hill 568 and the magizine is catfancy. I have a subscrition to cat fancy so thats all i read pretty much.

Barrish, Cris, and Peter Meyer. Fatal Embrace. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1999.
Rule, Ann. And Never Let Her Go. New York: Pocket, 1999.

I just finished these two "true crime" books. They're both about the Thomas Capano case in Wilmington, Delaware. He was a wealthy, politically connected lawyer who murdered Anne Marie Fahey, the governor's appointments secretary, when she tried to break off their relationship.

I lucked out, at the library: The Cat Who Talked Turkey by Lilian Jackson Braun AND the latest Midnight Louie mystery Cat In a Neon Nightmare by Carole Nelson Douglas. Got them both, on the same trip.

Just finished Glorious Appearing, the 12th and last book in the Left Behind series, I thought it was very good. Now I've started Eragon, a fantasy book, seems okay so far.

Jill and Candy

Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Suzanne Brockmann's "Flashpoint", Nora Roberts' "Birthright" and I just finished Sophie Kinsella's "Can you keep a secret".

Let's see I finsihed re-reading Harry Potter the first one (I have little bit of a Harry Potter Addiction I'm afraid. ) I'm getting ready to start reading Wicked by Gregory Mcquire and A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snickett (My cousin got me the entire set for Christmas Last Year.) I have kind of a thing for Childrens books, they're great when you just want a quick read.

Just read that today, and I agree.

"Butcher's Theater" is the only non-Delaware novel, that I thought was any good. "Billy Straight" didn't do anything for me, either.

Its the same way, when his wife, Faye Kellerman, departs from her Peter and Rina Decker novels.

Brain Droppings - George Carlin. Man, he is just a whack job, but the book is hilarious.

I enjoy them, too. Deep, they're not, but I find them to be wonderful palate cleansers between heavier stuff, of whatever ilk. I think I'm due for one or two.

As for what's on the go at the moment, "Angels and Demons" (Dan Brown, of "Da Vinci Code" fame). I'm not very far in, but it's already following the structural pattern of "Da Vinci Code" (it's also Robert Langdon, an earlier story). I think I'm going to enjoy it. He does keep the heat turned up.

That's on my Palm, and goes wherever I go, even when I don't think I'll have time for reading, and therefore wouldn't carry a book. On the bedside table, in various stages of consumption, are Douglas Adams "Salmon of Doubt", Patricia Cornwell "Portrait of a Killer" and assorted magazines.

im reading the cat who series about two siamese who solve mysteries

I'm reading The Night Watcher by John Lutz. I just finished The Cat who saw red by Lillian Jackson Braun, I thought it was ok, that was my first cat mystery book.

Lisa & Sash

Well, I'm not reading anything right now. Who has the time? I usually get all my reading done on those long cross country flights. They beat having to pay a lot of money to watch a heavily censored movie.

When I do read, I normally prefer anything about science fiction, adventure, or war novels.

Over the weekend, I got a copy of 'Rats: Observations on the History & Habitat of the City's Most Unwanted Inhabitants". It was written by a well regarded essayest who spend the better part of the year standing in a rat infested alley.
